Design & Details
- Averse (Front Side): The badge features a classic cogwheel frame bearing the famous communist slogan "ПРОЛЕТАРИИ ВСЕХ СТРАН, СОЕДИНЯЙТЕСЬ!". The center displays a detailed hydro-electric dam backdrop filled with deep blue enamel representing water, overlaid with a prominent golden hammer and sickle medallion. The top is crowned with a flowing red enamel banner inscribed with the silver-toned initials "СССР", while the bottom is anchored by a sharp red enamel five-pointed star surrounded by wheat ears.
- Reverse (Back Side): The reverse features a solid metallic finish with a clean patina, complete with visible rivet heads from the multi-piece emblem assembly. It is stamped with the manufacturer mark "МОНЕТНЫЙ ДВОР" (Mint) above the post and features an engraved historical serial number "8388" at the bottom.
- Finish & Materials: Features a beautiful combination of rich red and vibrant blue enamel elements paired with an oxidized silver-toned and golden metallic multi-piece construction.
- Attachment: Features a traditional screw-back mechanism (threaded post on the reverse) for secure fastening to clothing, uniforms, or display felt.
Specifications & Condition
- Condition: Excellent collectible condition. As a premium reproduction, the enamel work across the banner, central water section, and lower star is fully intact, smooth, and free of cracks or chips. The threaded screw post is completely solid and ready for use.
- Visual Appeal: The complex multi-piece layered design, accurate font styles for the "Mint" stamp and serial number, and realistic aged look make this badge a highly aesthetic and unique showpiece.
Historical Note
The Order of the Red Banner of Labor was established in 1928 to honor exceptional civilian achievements, industrial labor milestones, and scientific contributions to the Soviet state. Early versions issued prior to World War II utilized this iconic screw-back attachment style before the transition to the more common ribbon-suspension system. These early screwback types are highly sought after by phaleristics experts for their intricate manufacturing and aesthetic weight.
